After the county lord left, the maidservant came to the main hall and saw Mrs. Gao holding the table, her face was solemn, and her eyes seemed to have something on her mind.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?"

"Go and call the best doctor in the bazaar, and say I'm sick." Mrs. Gao looked at her wrist and thoughtfully, "By the way, go and call a few more people to go to the market to chat, and just say......" The maid understood what Mrs. Gao meant, so she came closer to listen.

After speaking, Mrs. Gao took out a weighty purse and handed it to the maidservant.

According to what Mrs. Gao said, the doctor prescribed several doses of good medicine to her, and at the same time said that Mrs. Gao was suffering from a heart disease, which was difficult to treat, and she was afraid that it would take a long time to get better.

Within a few days, there were many gossips in the capital that the county lord threatened Mrs. Gao, and the words reached Su Zhenzhen's ears, and she was quite worried.

"When have you ever seen me troubled by these gossip?"

In the county lord's mansion, Su Zhenzhen and the county lord were sitting in the courtyard, and the county lord wanted to get up and walk, but the corner of his clothes was tripped by the corner of the stone table, so he simply continued to sit down.

The county lord's words are reasonable, and I think she can be more decisive than this time when she manages the epidemic.

"But if that word reaches the princess and princess......" Su Zhenzhen looked at the county lord worriedly, she was mainly worried that the prince would blame the county lord, and she didn't expect that this matter would implicate the county lord.

"My father and mother naturally believed that I would not do such a thing." The county lord gave Su Zhenzhen a smile back, "It's just that Mrs. Gao, I'm afraid that she has a ghost in her heart, I just secretly warned her, and she made such a big move for me." ”

The county lord muttered quietly, isn't there a ghost in his heart.

"Anyway, thank you Lord for your careful investigation and help." Su Zhenzhen deliberately spoke to the county lord in a joking tone, poured water into the county lord's teacup, and gestured to raise her glass, "Replace wine with tea, I wish us to get the key evidence as soon as possible and succeed as soon as possible." ”

After saying that, both of them laughed. The four seasons flow, in a blink of an eye it is autumn, the autumn light in the courtyard is good, the chrysanthemums are blooming brightly, the fragrance of osmanthus lingers in the yard, the air is as sweet as the osmanthus cake, Su Zhenzhen A few days ago, she also sent someone to choose a few branches and put them on the stone table in the house and yard.

"The osmanthus in your courtyard smells so good." The county lord took a deep breath and enjoyed it, "It's very comfortable to smell it." ”

"If the county lord likes it, you can choose a few branches and bring them back." Su Zhenzhen stood up and walked to the osmanthus tree, fiddling with clusters of osmanthus flowers.

The osmanthus flowers are small, some are hidden among the trees, and some are swaggering, but the fragrance can't be covered if they want to, as if they are about to overflow from the air, and the servants in the courtyard smell this sweet smell every day, and the mood is also exceptionally good.

"I don't want it, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they still look good on the trees." The county lord got closer and smelled it, and he liked it very much.

Su Zhenzhen looked at the county lord and suddenly thought of something, "While the days are warm, in a few days I will let them dry the fallen osmanthus flowers and make them into pastries or wine." ”

The county lord looked happy, "I want to drink, remember to call me when your osmanthus wine is ready." ”

The servants who were cleaning the yard passed by the county lord and Su Zhenzhen, and couldn't help but laugh.

Autumn fell in the sunset, and the county lord spoke, "It's not early, I'm going back first." ”

Su Zhenzhen nodded, watching the county lord walk out of the county lord's mansion.

After the county lord returned from the county lord's mansion, he sent a lot of people to collect evidence.

Some people hid in the shadows of Gaofu, especially keeping an eye on Gaofu's movements at night, and reporting to the county lord whenever there was any trouble; Some were sent to the bazaar, disguised as ordinary people, to operate in places frequented by Takaakiba.

There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys of the capital, and some said that Su Zhenzhen didn't know the severity of the problem, and did not focus on solving the problem of rouge poisoning, but let the county lord threaten Mrs. Gao; Some say that the county lord aids in the abuse, but they don't know what is black and white.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. The discussion was boiling, and the matter became more and more troublesome, so that it reached the ears of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor sent people to announce the county lord and Su Zhenzhen into the palace.

"See Your Majesty." The county lord and Su Zhenzhen saluted one by one.

When the emperor saw the two of them coming, he put down the fold in his hand, "I haven't seen you two for a few days, why did you make such a big noise among the people." ”

Su Zhenzhen and the county lord glanced at each other, and Su Zhenzhen said, "It was originally a case involving a people's girl's shop, but I didn't expect to be implicated in the county lord." ”

The emperor took a sip of tea and raised his eyes to look at the two people in front of him, "Is this unwilling to talk to me?" ”

Su Zhenzhen understood what the emperor meant, so she had to explain it in detail.

"Is it really related to Gaofu?" The emperor asked.

"Sure enough, the minister has installed a lot of eyeliner outside the Gao Mansion, they will not be mistaken, the minister himself has also gone to the Gao Mansion to test it, it is indeed suspicious." The county lord looked at the emperor firmly.

After understanding the situation, the emperor asked them to let go and find evidence, "Go and investigate, I will be your backing, and I will check with confidence, and the investigation will come to a conclusion." ”

With these words from the emperor, Su Zhenzhen and the county lord were more confident in the resolution of this matter.

Su Zhenzhen finished talking to the county lord and left the palace, the emperor picked up the fold and looked at it for a while and then put it down, and the father-in-law on the side said with a vision, "Your Majesty, are you worried about the county lord or are you ......?"

The emperor didn't speak, only got up, and after wandering around the study for a while, he asked, "The county lord and Su Zhenzhen said that the poisoning was done by Gao Qiuye, you say, does the Gao Mansion know about it?" ”

The father-in-law paused, he had been in front of the emperor for so many years, and the emperor's thoughts were in vain to say that he didn't understand.

"We don't know if Lord Gao doesn't know about this, but Mrs. Gao loves her daughter very much, so she must know."

The emperor looked at his father-in-law and suddenly smiled, "I'll leave it to the two of them first, by the way, isn't the imperial dining room made osmanthus soup?" ”

"Yes, the minister will send it over immediately." The father-in-law hunched his waist, raised his head slightly, and glanced at the person standing in the doorway.

Here, the county lord and Su Zhenzhen were about to arrive at the palace gate, and they saw Master Gao standing at the palace gate from a distance, as if they were waiting for someone.

"Why is he standing there?" The county lord asked in a whisper.

Lord Gao also saw the county lord and Su Zhenzhen, and the three of them smiled from a distance first.

"I don't know, maybe the emperor has something to do with him." Su Zhenzhen pulled the county lord to the palace gate.

"Why is Lord Gao here today?" The county lord arched his hand and asked.

Lord Gao looked at the county lord, and then at Su Zhenzhen, "The old minister's jade pendant may have fallen in the palace, so I sent someone to find it." ”

"Then I hope that Lord Gao will find the jade pendant as soon as possible, and I still have something to do with Zhen Zhen, so I will leave first." The county lord smiled, originally thinking that the tall man in front of her understood things, but since the last time the tall man protected Gao Qiuye, she had lost her good impression of the person in front of her.

Looking at the back of the county lord and Su Zhenzhen leaving, the tall man had a bad premonition in his heart, sank his gaze, and walked towards the palace again.

"How's it going?" At the corner of the palace, I saw a tall man and a little eunuch whispering.

The little eunuch told Su Zhenzhen what she said to the emperor today, and after listening to it, the tall man's eyebrows were like dark clouds crushing the city.

It turned out that the little eunuch received a lot of silver taels from the tall man, just to be an informant in his palace.

As soon as the tall man stepped into the door of the mansion, he asked the servant to call for Gao Qiuye.

"Honestly, what trouble have you been causing me lately?"

As soon as Gao Qiuye entered the main hall, he saw his father's heavy face, and he immediately panicked.

"I, I ......"

"You...... I think your mother is used to pampering you, does she know about poisoning? "The teacup is innocent, but it is always thrown on the table by angry people.

"Mother, she doesn't know exactly what I did, but she ......" Gao Qiuye couldn't help but cringe when she saw her father so angry.

"It's just that no matter what you do, she has to protect you." The tall man flicked his sleeves and turned his back to his daughter, who was kneeling on the ground.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Gao hurriedly came from the room when she heard the maidservant saying that the main hall was moving, and when she saw Gao Qiuye kneeling on the ground, she hurriedly helped her up, "Master! No matter how big a mistake Ye'er makes, she is still your daughter. ”

"Just because she's my daughter, what do you see she do? There was such a big movement, and the emperor knew about it. The tall man turned around, his brow furrowed.

When Gao Qiuye and Mrs. Gao heard that the emperor knew about this, they couldn't help but soften.

"This afternoon, I'll send you to a house in the suburbs, and you will stay there for me and don't cause any more trouble." Lord Gao pointed at Gao Qiuye angrily, but every word also showed a sense of protection.

"Then, the emperor's ......" Mrs. Gao tightened her handkerchief, and the maidservant next to her helped her.

"The emperor needs an explanation." Master Gao touched his beard, pondered for a while, and said with a hint of coldness, "It's just an explanation, I will find someone to replace Ye'er's sin." ”

Gao Qiuye took a deep breath and leaned on the edge of the table with one hand, "Thank you, Daddy." "It's good to have someone to scapego, it's good to have someone to scapego......

Master Gao glared at her, "Don't pack your things yet." ”

After Mrs. Gao and Gao Qiuye withdrew from the main hall, Lord Gao asked people to find scapegoats. The person who did the work was efficient, and soon found the person who was guilty, and Lord Gao personally took the guilt-bearing sheep to the county lord's mansion.

"What? Tall is here? Su Zhenzhen and the county lord were discussing the next step in the house at this time, but they heard the servant say that there was a tall man standing outside the door.

"yes, there's a man next to him."

Su Zhenzhen and the county lord were puzzled, and the two of them got up in unison, wanting to take a look.

When the tall man saw Su Zhenzhen and them come out, he motioned for the guards to bring the bound people up.

"I heard that Miss Su was investigating the poisoning of rouge, and I heard that this matter has something to do with my Gao Mansion, so the old minister had to intervene in the investigation."

Su Zhenzhen now knew the intention of the tall man, she glanced at the person who was being bound, and looking at this figure, it reminded her of the man in black who had handed over to the thief.

"This person is the mastermind behind the scenes, he stole the token of our mansion out of nowhere, and wanted to blame the Gao mansion. After the old minister came back from the palace, he designed to take this person. Lord Gao's words were sincere, and others would only make Su Zhenzhen thank her for her help.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, poisoning the rouge is my ghost's mind, please send whatever the girl wants, I have no complaints." The tied man nodded frequently, and his posture kept moving closer to the ground.

Su Zhenzhen and the county lord watched the person in front of him playing, and the county lord was angry and wanted to scold but was stopped by Su Zhenzhen, and only said coldly, "Then this person will be locked up in the county lord's mansion from today." ”

"Okay, I also hope that Miss Su and the county lord will severely punish this person to set an example." The tall man arched his hand, and his eyes scraped the people on the ground fiercely.

The scapegoat found by Lord Gao bit the words to death, and Su Zhenzhen They had no choice but to report the situation to the emperor after finding out the truth of the matter.

After listening to what Su Zhenzhen said, the emperor's face began to gloomy, "This tall man is an old fox, he is shrewd and does not hurt his own interests at all, you need to be careful in your actions in the future." ”

Su Zhenzhen responded, but only she knew the taste in her heart.

"This person will be interrogated first, and no matter what he says, he will be sentenced to beheading." After the emperor finished speaking, he signaled the guards in the palace, and the guilty sheep was taken down, and at the same time ordered people to give Su Zhenzhen a fair way in the capital market, and people's reputation naturally cannot be ruined by villains.
